Christian Leaders Call for Jubilee Justice: ZCC Pushes for Debt Cancellation at G20 People’s Summit
Staff Writer-
The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) has joined Christian organisations and social justice movements in Johannesburg, South Africa, for the G20 We, the 99% People’s Summit at Constitution Hill, running from 20–22 November 2025.
The ZCC delegation, led by a member of the Supervisory Council and accompanied by the Local Ecumenical Fellowships, Youth Ecumenical Fellowship, and the Secretariat, is using the platform to amplify a strong Christian call for global economic justice.
According to the delegation, the church is pushing for "Reparations in the form of Debt Cancellation in the Year of Jubilee," alongside broader reforms of the global financial system and justice for the world’s poorest communities.
Day 1 Resolutions: A Christian Call for a Just World
Delegates from across Africa and the Global South outlined key resolutions aimed at challenging systems that perpetuate inequality. These include:
-
Youth Mobilisation and Civic Education:
Delegates urged accessible civic education to empower young people and strengthen collective action. They stressed the need to define "clear non-negotiables" to confront neoliberalism, exclusion, and digital inequality. -
Economic Justice and Fair Taxation:
Delegates demanded firm action against unjust taxation, debt traps, extractivism, and corporate dominance in food systems. Strong calls were made to:- "Tax the rich!"
- Reclaim food sovereignty through agroecology.
- Strengthen social protection and public health systems.
-
Global Solidarity Against Exploitation:
The summit underscored the urgency of united resistance against multinational exploitation and widening inequality driven by billionaire interests. Delegates demanded a shared commitment to peace and the protection of land, water, food, and justice — "NOT war!"
Christian organisations partnering in the broader movement include NCA - Advocacy Programme for Africa, Brot für die Welt, Christian Aid, and the World Council of Churches.
The ZCC said its participation echoes a long-standing biblical mandate for justice, hope, and restoration.

Prosper In All...
DAILY DEVOTIONS MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT
Prosper in all
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
To prosper is to flourish or to do well. Doing well or flourishing is multidimensional in nature. Hence our concern for people should also be multidimensional. We should be concerned about all aspects of their health including physical, spiritual, financial and emotional. This goes for ourselves as well. We all function better and are better people when our health is wholesome.
The world has sold us the counterfeit prosperity which says that we only need to do well financially. But the reality is any unbalanced prosperity leads to serious issues like health and relationship issues.
As we grow spiritually, we must take care of our physical being. Our bodies are the temple of God and need caring. We also need to take care of our emotions as neglect can lead to serious mental health issues. We do not have to be strong in every situation. Our God is strong for us in our times of weakness. We accept our frailities and surrender to the Lord.
As our soul prospereth let us remember that all dimensions of our being need to prosper as well. God bless

FINDING STRENGTH IN SURRENDER
Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane shows us that even He, the Son of God, needed strength from above. Feeling overwhelmed by His assignment, He turned to the Father for support. If Jesus needed help, how much more do we? Let's follow His example and surrender our struggles, trusting that total surrender attracts God's strength to accomplish His will. 🙏🏼 #SeasonOfPrayerAndCommitment - Salvationist online
